Michael Tinsley

We worked with Mike to find and successfully buy our first home. He was incredibly knowledgeable on each aspect of the process from finding the right home to putting together an offer to working through all of the closing paperwork. He was responsive and helpful answering all of our (many many) questions as well as giving his honest opinion on different choices we needed to make. Would happily recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home!

I recently worked with Mike Tinsley on purchasing my first condo and I can't recommend him enough. Mike is very professional, intelligent, super-competent, and kind and makes this stressful process as easy as possible. He's always available, communicates very well and even anticipates your questions and concerns. I know he has many other clients but the level of caring and attention that he gives to each case, makes you feel like you are his only client. I didn't know anything about home purchasing and he patiently answered all my questions for weeks. I've learnt so much from him. As much as I was looking forward to the end of this process, the one thing I'm going to miss is working with Mike. It's been a real pleasure working with him and I'm not exaggerating when I say he's the best real estate agent in the area!

My husband and I worked with Mike Tinsley on our July 2022 purchase of our house. He was a great realtor from start to finish. Mike worked hard to understand the exact type of property we were looking for, and consistently reached out to check in and offer suggestions. He was extremely responsive, honest, and knowledgeable. We truly trusted him throughout the process, and would highly recommend him to any homebuyers!

Worked with Mike to buy our first home. Fantastic to work with. Highly responsive, very accomodating and executed this transaction for us seamlessly. House buying can be stressful. But working with Mike took all the stress out of it. Whether it be about how to start your journey, budgeting, pricing/ the bidding process or finding a lender - Mike had all the answers and walked us through step by step. Above all, he is someone you can trust, gives sound advice, and lets you sit in the driving seat when you want to.

Michael Tinsley is an awesome real estate agent and an even better person. He is extremely professional, punctual, very clear and prompt in his communication. We have worked with Mike on two occasions now- renting and our first home purchase. He is extremely knowledgable and astonishingly accurate in his assessment of house prices. He made it easy for us in this crazy housing market. He is very patient in answering all our questions any time. We liked him so much that we referred him to one of our relatives and he secured a house very fast for them as well. We are very thankful to him and will certainly continue doing business with him in our future real estate endeavors.

Michael is amazing. He is efficient, super responsive, answers all your questions right away, super knowledgeable and approachable. He made a scary process (to buy our first condo) so much easier! He went far and beyond to take care of us. I cannot say enough good things about him.

Mike has been excellent to work with both as a renter and now as a home buyer. We relocated to Brookline a few years ago, and Mike was responsive from day one. He helped us find an apartment that met everything on our must-have list and that was in our budget. Most recently, when looking to purchase our first home, we immediately knew to turn to Mike.Boston is already a very competitive market, but with COVID-19, the areas we were looking at became even more competitive (20+ offers, several hundred thousand above asking, no contingencies, you name it). Mike was very helpful in navigating the market and advising us on pricing and strategy. Mike's communication is excellent, and he was proactive in our housing search. Where some realtors will simply add your criteria to the MLS and wait for you to reach out, Mike would reach out to us if he saw a house pop up that might be a good fit. He worked to set up private showings (as our work schedules made open houses difficult), and he was always available to attend both showings and open houses with us. We were not easy clients - over our many months long search, we looked at well over 20 houses, had to set up private showings for a majority of them, and asked a lot of questions about disclosures that required back-and-forth with the seller's agent. Not once did Mike ever make us feel like we were a burden, and he enthusiastically handled every request we had of him. There are several great things about working with Mike, but my favorite is his ability to communicate with the seller's agent and gain insights into what the best strategy is for a given house. He asked questions we never thought (or forgot) to ask, and it made us feel confident we were going into an offer with all of the information we needed. Lastly, Mike never pressured us to offer more than we were comfortable with, and he kept us motivated and patient as we waited for the right house to come along. In the end we snagged an incredible house for an incredible deal (we paid less than the appraised price), and Mike was there every step of the way until closing answering all of our questions and making sure everything ran smoothly.I highly recommend Mike to anyone needing a realtor in the Greater Boston area.

We have always had the best experience with Mike and Longwood Residential. Mike has been helping us with our real estate needs for a few years and most recently helped us with the sale of our property. He helped make the entire process easy and stress free. Mike is very knowledgeable, experienced, honest and responds promptly. We highly recommend Mike to anyone in the Boston area and wish we could bring him to our new home state!
